Wall Coatings
in Inverness,
built to shed Highland rain.

We do, and it costs nothing. A surveyor visits your home anywhere in the city, Inshes, Milton of Leys, Culduthel, Smithton, Culloden, Westhill, Balloch, Kinmylies or Merkinch, with no travel charge and no call-out fee. The quote that follows is free as well, and whether you go ahead is entirely your call.

Most full-house coatings land between £3,500 and £8,500 applied, taking in scaffolding, the power-wash, wall repairs, primer, base coat and top coat. A large detached house can reach £14,000 or more. You get a clear, no-obligation quote after the free survey, and various deposit options are available.

That is the wall a coating helps most. The finish is hydrophobic, so wind-driven rain beads and runs off instead of soaking into the harl. A wall that stays dry has far less water in it for the frost to expand, which is what cracks and blows harling in the first place, and a dry wall holds heat better than a saturated one.

Usually not. Loose material is cut out, hollow patches are made good and cracks are filled and blended before anything else happens, because a coating over poor harling is money wasted. If a wall is genuinely too far gone the surveyor will say so at the visit rather than take the job on regardless.

Often, yes. The render on the newer estates east and south of the city is sound but thirsty, so it darkens with rain, greens on the shaded side and takes a long time to dry out. A hydrophobic coating keeps that water on the surface, and rainfall then carries the dirt and algae off with it instead of letting them settle in.

Stone sits on the list along with pebbledash, roughcast, render and brick. Whether it should be coated is the better question. On a period house in Crown or along the riverside, the usual advice is to leave good stonework alone and treat the harled or rendered walls at the sides and back. The surveyor gives you a straight view, not a sales pitch.

Typically 3 to 7 working days, weather permitting. The wash and the repairs come first, then primer, base coat and top coat over the days after, and the work is sealed each evening so a wet night does not undo it. Highland weather can stretch that, and we tell you when it does.

Any RAL colour can be mixed. Samples come out with the surveyor and a small test area can be applied to your own wall on request, so you can judge the shade in Highland daylight before deciding. The pigment sits in the coating itself and resists fading.

For most houses this is straightforward work that needs no permission. It is worth a check first if your home is listed or stands in a conservation area, and parts of Crown and the riverside are exactly that. The Highland Council planning team can confirm it, and we will supply whatever product information they ask to see.

Yes. We offer Buy Now Pay 12 Months Later, flexible credit up to 24 months, and longer-term flexible credit up to 10 years. The initial eligibility check is a soft search with no impact on your credit score, and gives an instant decision. Ultimate Home Solutions is authorised by the FCA as a credit broker (not a lender).

All workmanship is guaranteed, which takes in the preparation, the repairs and the application of the coating itself. Your surveyor runs through the detail during the free visit, so you know where you stand before anything is booked.
